[QUOTE=Superboy;195673]That's because the girls didn't vote based on performace, but because of personal stuff.[/QUOTE]
I would also say that I think it was part luck as well. Those girls really made me mad when they voted based on peronal things. "This game is UGLY, the inner circle is UGLY." :D I'm glad they got rid of this voting system.

Well looking at the points during that challenge it was very rare for them to do what the men were doing. the females split the team very quickly with the way things were handled.
I mean Veronica, Rachel, and several others did not do bad they just got screwed over by the team

Wasn't there supposed to be a new Road Rules like this past November or January.
I was messaging a couple people on youtube and I heard it was supposed to be the Battlegrounds.
Can anyone explain a bit further of the rules and format of that season?
I heard that old Roadies like Tina, Jodi, Abram, and Derrick were in this season.

[QUOTE=CrazyRealityGuy;201630]That's tough... Mark was on RR1... But I got a lot of love for Timmy...[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Timmy did a lot for Road Rules....but it is Mark. He was on the first Road Rules, on the first Road Rules team on the first challenge, and is arguably the best Road Rules male competitor on the challenge all time. He even called himself "first Road Ruler" and passed his bandana to Derrick. When Mark wasn't around Timmy was the leader of Road Rules. It would of been interesting to see those two on the same Road Rules team......it's like one would negate the other.

They were on the same team on Gauntlet 2. Given it wasn't a Road Rules team, but at least we got to see them on a team together.

I would call Mark the alpha male of the Challenges! I think he's the one face that represents them more than anyone else (if you're talking, from the beginning, not just the recent history).
So I guess you could say that if Mark holds the title of Challenge Alpha male he'd have to give up his title as Road Rules Alpha male and therefore Timmy would get it, as the runner-up. lol
But no seriously, Mark is definitely the Road Rules king.

I would love to see a Road Rules reunion or a Road Rules award show, like they did for The Real World. It would be sick to see so many vets from the show. After the show, it seems like certain people fell off the face of the earth!

I think it would be a treat for the fans. Hell even seeing people that did like 1 or 2 challenges like Tara and Josh (Latin America) or Brian (Latin America), shayne (down Under) and Abe (Latin America)

For some reason I loved Maximum Velocity Tour. I watched all the seasons but didn't really watch them fully till MVT. (Some I actually watched after MVT). Besides it being the first season I watched completely, it was just an amazing group of people and they had an amazing preview show before hand.
1) MVT
2) he Quest
3) South Pacific
4) Campus Crawl
5) X-treme
6) S.A.S
7) VR
I dont want to rank RR 1, RR 2, Europe, Northern Trail, Latin America or Down Under because I don't remember them and I didn't watch them to completion (basically what I stated above).

Can you tell me the type of person Kathryn was? And how she did in the missions? If you can recall.....

[QUOTE=Superboy;203737]Can you tell me the type of person Kathryn was? And how she did in the missions? If you can recall.....[/QUOTE]
I can recall. She was one of my favorites. She was a southern girl, really pretty and athletic. She was sweet. She wanted to "sew" her wild oats while on the show, that's the real reason she applied for the show (she wasn't sure if she was going to be on RR or RW). She had a boyfriend, but people (some of the roadies) said she fooled around with LT in the bathroom like the night (or a few days) before her boyfriend came. She denied it, LT confirmed it. No one knows what happened for sure.
Type of person- Fun, Sweet and Chilled-out.
Competitor type- She did very well and wasn't afraid of anything. She was always up for a challenge.

Thanks.

No problem!
That cast was basically girls against the guys. The guys were real hot heads and no one wanted to compromise on things! It was great to watch.
They had cool missions. They were put in a cage and thrown into shark infested waters... the sharks were circling them... it was pretty crazy!

It really does seem like MVT is the forgotten Road Rules season. It and The Quest are the only two I never got to see.
I'll rank what I remember:
BEST
South Pacific
Latin America
Down Under
Campus Crawl
SAS
Season 2
Season 1
Islands
Europe
Northern Trail
GAP
X-Treme
EVEN LARGER GAP
Viewer's Revenge
WORST

Someone uploaded Semester at Sea on Youtube.......better watch it now before it gets taken down.
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1iW-tknmAs&amp;feature=related]YouTube - Road Rules 8 - Semester at Sea (Ep. 1 part 1)[/url]

Rankings? Um...
Season 1 and Semester at Sea are my favorites, with Down Under being up there, too. After that, I liked Campus Crawl and South Pacific a lot.
I guess I'd say:
Semester at Sea
Season 1
Down Under
Campus Crawl
South Pacific
Northern Trail
Maximum Velocity Tour
Latin America
Xtreme
VR (grateful for RR coming back, but this season was on a whole other planet from what RR typically is)
I'm sure some of these could be interchangeable, but it basically is the gist of how much I liked the seasons - the first four or five on my list are my favored season, and the last three or four are my least favored of the ones I saw (but they still were decent). VR is absolutely the least favorite for me.

[QUOTE=TheSeenScene;205929]I never really got to watch Road Rules; the only season I watched was the most current one that aired a couple years ago (the name escapes me at the moment).[/QUOTE]
Viewer's Revenge. I'm in the same boat as you are.

What I don't understand is why there is no dvd's of any of the RR seasons? The show ran for 14 seasons there are reality shows that ran for one season that get a dvd. Same goes for RW I don't understand BMP at all it's like they have no interest in marketing their RW/RR shows it's very strange.
